What's your all time favorite dish to make?I love making biscuits. The I still have the Betty Crocker cookbook I used at age four to learn how. Tho that recipe is seared into my mind!
What would you do with the $25,000?Omg! Upgrade my catering kitchen and finish my catering cart reno! My partner and I started renovating a three horse trailer into a catering cart but we have run into cash flow problems due to losing some contracts. That would be more than enough to finish, in style and help out with a van to haul the sucker!
